Under the constitution, what happens when conflicts arise between state and federal government? this is for apex.

a.) laws on subjects not discussed within the constitution cannot be passed

b.) powers not explicitly reserved for state governments are given to the federal government

c.) laws on subjects discussed within the constitution cannot be changed

d.) powers not explicitly reserved for the federal government are given to the states

The correct answer is D) powers not explicitly reserved for the federal government are given to the states.

Under the Constitution, what happens when conflicts arise between state and federal government is that powers not explicitly reserved for the federal government are given to the states.

This can be clearly read in the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This means that the states have the powers not granted to the federal government. So states can offer education, own property, operate a justice system, raise funds, and regulate the industry, among others.

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.

missionaries were sent around the world to spread religion and their knowledge and others - they were not merchants who sold furs and other goods.
